Welcome
Sarah Playforth is an established equality consultant based in Sussex.
Sarah provides consultancy and training in access, diversity and equality for corporations, small businesses, local government and health trusts, with a particular focus on deafness and disability.
Embedding diversity and equality of access into your organisation is a sure way to increase the number of people using your services and to increase your profits.
Sarah Playforth provides a consultancy service based on long experience, flexibility and responsiveness. Forget 'off the shelf' training and consultancy that follows a standard template, which takes no account of individual needs and the particular way your organisation works. Sarah Playforth helps you choose ways that suit you, your organisation and your clients.
Sarah Playforth is often involved in research and other projects to find out what disabled people in and around Sussex think of a range of services and organisations and to support and encourage more disabled people to participate in shaping the way they receive services. Please do get in touch if you are a deaf or disabled person living in Sussex and are interested in being part of a growing number who influence the way in which organisations work.
